NBC News reports — Missouri governor Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency on Thursday as the storm dumped some 18 inches of snow in parts of the state. The storm also made for treacherous traveling conditions , as cars struggled to stay on the road and hundreds of flights were canceled. According to CBS , those hazardous conditions are responsible for the deaths of two people traveling on icy roadways. But as the Arizona Star points out – “Q” didn’t just leave a trail of complications. It also helped ease some of the tensions in the Midwest caused by one of the worst droughts in decades. One Kansas wheat farmer told the newspaper, “Nearly a foot of snow was ‘what we have been praying for.’” And many others just enjoyed a day off from work or school. So what can we expect next from winter storm “Q?” “You can see this is what is left of that circulation of ‘Q…’ Minneapolis right up into Green Bay, that is the part I am most worried about with the moderate snowfall during the morning rush hour.” “Q” is expected to taper off soon — but not before leaving a projected six inches of snow in parts of the north east.
